The Arsenal FC thread

Damn, my DVR cutoff when it was still 4-4.

The meeting with the shareholders tomorrow should be awesome.

That already happened on Monday. Apparently it got pretty heated.

 

[Stout]

Wow, the best comeback I ever saw was a team down 4-0 in the 2nd half coming back for a draw at 4-4. I wonder who those teams were?

Congrats on the comeback win. I feel a little bad for Reading, but I like Wenger. Now, I have to actively hate the Gooners as rivals in the Premier League, but they aren't as bad as Man U. and Chelsea.

Because they kept scoring goals. After a goal is a stoppage, so refs normally let open play go on longer. That said, officiating has been terrible this year, but in this case, I'm not in agreement.

They only scored the tying goal in stoppage time. Goal #3 came in the 88th minute. Goal #4 came in the 95th minute.

I just re-watched it again. Awesome game..... Horrible timekeeping at the end.

They also got extra time because Reading made a substitution during stoppage--that added at least another 30 seconds. Not a smart move on their part, they might have actually won had they not done that.

Yeah, but that usually wins you the game, not the other way around. It probably took more time to make the sub than the time added.

It think it is awesome that Reading and their fans prolonged the game by 1) the substitution and 2) by the fans not giving the ball back in time for the throw in before Walcott's goal.

I also love that Arsenal players threw their jersey's in the crowd because they didn't know that the game wasn't over.

Thanks, Tuesday Club.

Oops, shareholder meeting last Thursday. Nevermind. sorry.

Tuesday Club: It was like watching the Politburo up there.

Arsene Wenger: Qualifying for Champion's League is now winning "a trophy."

 

[Mulli]

5-2 over Spurs. All in right in the world!

 

[Mulli]

Hello, hello? Anyone? 5-2? Hello? Beat the Spurs?

 

[Chaplin]

Giroud is starting to come through for the Gunners. Good game. Adebayor is stupid.

Yep.

 

[Mulli]

So...Gooners better not rest people against Bradford.

 

[Chaplin]

We stink. We'll be extremely lucky just to get a Champions League spot. Europa League, here we come!

 

[Mulli]

But look at how strong they are financially!! Gooners are becoming more like cardinals everyday.

 

[Mathew81]

We stink. We'll be extremely lucky just to get a Champions League spot. Europa League, here we come!

We might need to be lucky to get even that. We're fairly healthy and 10th in the League right now, 15 points from the top and 15 points from the bottom. We're just an average team. Maybe things change in January, but how many transfer windows have come and gone and we just end up disappointed? If their idea of strengthening the squad is bring Henry back for another loan (widely rumored that it's going to happen) it will be a joke.

Arsenal just lost to Bradford City. Bradford. City. Terrible performance.

Out with Wenger, in with Guardiola?

Losing to a League 2 team. Sad. Pep!!!

 

[Mathew81]

That was an embarrassing performance. In years past Wenger would have played a bunch of teenagers in a League cup game. This was the 1st team for the most part and they didn't get a shot on goal until 70 minutes in. Just ridiculous. I just read the Chamakh makes twice as much a year as the entire Bradford team. This surely has to be Wenger's last year right? He can't even get his 1st team players to beat a League 2 side. Pathetic.

Oh boy.

Everyone MUST listen to the Tuesday club podcast. They did a joint podcast with Bradford podcasters. So sad, but hearing the Bradford guys was fantastic.
